Dear Sir,
Compliments of the season. I am writing following an opportunity in my
office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.
I am the personal attorney to Late Mr. Anwar Arif who unfortunately lost his
life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January
31 2000, including his wife and onlydaughter. You shall read more about the
crash on visiting this site.

My late client currently have the sum of three Million five, hundred
thousand United States Dollars (US$3,500,000:00) in an account in a
Finance company. The finance company has recently issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin to deceased to come forward and claim the fund or have the
US$3,500,000:00 confiscated.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.
I hereby seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the US$3.5M can be paid to you as the next of kin
beneficiary because they cannot release it unless somebody applies for
it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in the banking
guidelines. The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such
money remained after five years the money will be transferred into
Government treasury as unclaimed funds.
40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while the balance
will be for me and my partners in the Finance company who will assist us
in processing the claims. I will visit your country for the disbursement
according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into
your account. Please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this
transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and risk free. As soon as you
receive this mail you should contact me by return mail.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of
these funds to you has been finalised. We will discuss much in details
when I do receive your response. Please reply back with all your contact
particulars such as your address, telephone and fax numbers so that I can
give you a call to explain better.Strictly, reply to my personal email
address eddyjoseph121@yahoo.com.
Best regards,
E. H.Joseph.
